CHAMPION SPRINTER TO SHINE FOR LA BERG STUD

A regular vendor at Bloodstock South Africa sales, the La Berg Stud will be represented by two quality lots at this year’s Cape Yearling Sale.

Hanno Joubert will be offering a pair of yearlings at the auction, with both lots having a precocious and speedy look to them.

Both fillies consigned to the sale by La Berg are daughters of Captain Of All, himself a G1 winner at two and champion sprinter at four.

This speedy blood surely suggests both yearlings are likely to come to hand early and show a quick return.

First on offer is the filly (Lot 59) out of classy performer Valley Of Rubies, already dam of three winners headed by the smart Rocky Valley, a three time winner who finished third in the G2 Umkhomazi Stakes at two. This is also the family of July winner Bush Telegraph, himself a champion at two.

Her stablemate the filly (Lot 136) out of Oratorio mare Infinity Queen hails from a top-class family, with this filly’s relatives including, among others, champion sprinter Rebel King.

La Berg Stud’s two yearlings can be viewed from Block E at Kenilworth racecourse during the days leading up to the Cape Sale.
